It's been really slow for me for the past several days. It seems to me that there are a lot of scripts running in the background of this site*, and I'm not sure what they're doing but as I'm running a VPN and various ad-blockers, I wonder if that's what's slowing me down. Nearly everyone is running an ad-blocker these days, and I gotta tell you, I'm hoping that's not the issue. I'm a paid member, I think I've earned the right not to have to see any goddamn ads. I shouldn't have this site slowed down as a result. Maybe I'm completely off-base, but I don't recall ever having these issues with the old site.
*I know, because I can see them loading in the bottom left corner of the page every time
